Wiper Blades
I had to get my windscreen replaced due to a crack and at the same time, they fitted new Bosch windscreen wipers whilst at auto glass. Since then, the blades are rubbish and just smear/judder when in use.

Looking online to find replacement ones, the "find my correct ones" search returns both a 22 inch and 23 inch length versions.

To me, they can't both be right, so is anyone able to let me know what length they should be plus also any recommendations. I have often replaced with Bosch in the past and never had any issues but these are terrible.

I have got juddering as well! From New I have to say. The windscreen gets dirty like nothing else and juddering is the consequence. If your glass is new try to clean it properly, use soap and white vinegar if you haven’t got specific products. I like in particular gtechniq perfect glass. Best thing I have ever used.
Spray some water repellent afterwards and you should be sorted.
